This week Sami is joined by writer Marisa Kabas. They start off by discussing Marisa’s experience dealing with weight stigma in heath care and having to diagnosis herself. They also discuss feeling judged by doctors who can’t see past their weight, being haunted by doctors who won’t stop showing us their BMI charts, and why it’s important to always advocate for yourself. They also talk about hospital bills, what pituitary tumors are, and functional medicine. Finally, they read some listener submitted stories about weight bias in medicine.
